Hi ....
i don't think that ur DNS is running ....]
u said 'u feel ur dns is working'
means wht??? have u tried to telnet to ur 53 port ?
does doing host/nslookup to ur machine works??
if this works then there is no question of getting connection refused
error
..
djbdns is also good alternative as kishor mentioned ... but BIND is also nice ... and working very well for me till now ..
Regards, ranjeet
my dns/bind file /etc/rc.d/init.d/named status
does not show the status of whether dns is running or not. it gives rndc: connect: connection refused
why? i feel that my DNS is working fine...
